Coil Overs For Gts-x

[aahh31]

some ppl may have read my profile and seen that i am brining over an r31 gts-x . it looks to have electric struts at the front.

are these any good, can i put coil overs in it easily, if so what type should i go for.... money is tight so maybe a cheap option

any help is much appreciated. no doubt there will be many more questions about modding this car when it gets here....

cheers Mick

hey man

if u havent already .. join www.r31skylineclub.com forums

2nd hand JIC coil overs are available from japan ....... in unknown condition in most cases. I was suckered into buying them when i wasnt as informed as i am now .. and ended up spending after a reco on the fronts over 1700dollars on OLD coil overs. dont go down this avenue unless u know what your getting yourself into

You can buy new from Zeal via R31house in Japan...... expect to pay upwards of 2500 with the current exchange rate. balls to that!

Another option is S13 coil overs, they are quiet a common modification on r31s around australia... for street or drift etc. using the S13 hub n knuckle with an S13 ball joint in your R31 arm .. as they all interchange and fit.

there is plenty more information on the 31 forums, feel free to search and read the write up on the clubs wiki pedia, pictures provided etc

alternatively .. u can install a good set of bilstien shocks into your coupe .. all round and purchase custom Aurora springs to suit HR31. i believe springs are about 380 a set custom ordered.. and bilstiens are available from a club member GTS145 ... new for about 200 a piece or so.

Anyways im sure i'll see you again, on the 31forums......but good luck and look forward to seeing pics

i have been told to use s13 parts for this b4 as money is tight what parts do i need to fit the coil overs and would it be worth getting steering arms and the other parts fist or just do it all at once
